Oh cutie, you're sweetie,
Trapped in your beauty,
I'm slowly, slowly losing myself!
I haven't even told you yet, go on!
Putting on a show for the first time,
Teasing me and making eyes at me,
Ramping up the love little by little,
A girl has totally swept me off my feet!
Whoever he is, he cast a spell on me!
Inside my heart,
He pampered me just like a child!
He filled me with love!
Whoever he is, he gave me a real rush!
In my youth, just like the first rain,
He brought that feeling alive!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
'Arabic Kuthu' (Halamithi Habibo) is a high-energy fusion song combining traditional Tamil 'Kuthu' beat elements with Middle Eastern Arabic music scales. Lyricist Sivakarthikeyan penned the track using mostly rhyming pseudo-Arabic gibberish words paired with breezy Tamil slang lines. The narrative captures playful romantic banter between the lead lovers as they express how completely smitten they are with each other's beauty and charms.
